Mrskelly2014 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 So we are leaving two weeks today. My anxiety is so bad I can barely cope at the moment. Im trying to keep reminding myself of why we are going and if nothing else it's an adventure but I'm just an emotional wreck!! Please tell me other people felt like this before leaving?!

Lucie1 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Good luck with everything. Have you visited oz before deciding to go ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrskelly2014 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 No!! I think that's why I am so emotional because non of us have visited! Ha we must be crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOL Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 No worries, we haven't visited it before either and it was everything we expected. It lies in your expectations though. I couldn't cope with homesickness, so we returned. But we're heading back in 2 months anyway because we miss Perth and the lifestyle to much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcozambini Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Don't worry one little bit. We hadn't set foot is Australia before moving permanently and we're now a week in and LOVING it! Got mobile phones, Medicare, drivers licences, a long term lovely rental near the CBD, the lot! It is a bonkers thing to do, but go with it and soak in that amazing Auzzie spirit!

Derbygirl42 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I can only imagine! I'm dreading it as well particularly the goodbyes. When my sister left 4 years ago it was horrible but here I am 4 years later about to do it (as soon as my house sells that is). It will be ok you'll get through it !

odies Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 We have the BIG goodbyes this weekend with our youngest son and his family, I have promised not to get upset etc etc so the girls feel normal about it. I have not been to bad with the friends saying goodbye , just putting on weight with all the meals out. Your mind goes all over the place, my hubby has gone very quiet .

duffieldtowers Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yep, we all feel it. Heck I was 45, quit a job with 27 years service, walked away from a posh house, sold at a loss (thanks GFC) to live in a bed sit in Wanneroo. On a 457 visa ! That was 2011. today we are building a house with views of the ocean, OK its Alkimos Beach which is up by Broom, I've gone from account manager to exec and Emily, 16, has passed her test, travelled to Tassy trampolining and has spent the day on Yanchep dog beach with me, the current Mrs D and Biff the dog (Biff the rescue dog from Macclesfield)... Its a long road, just make sure you have a mental road map of where you are going... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
